Chapter 1: Forgotten

 

`Long ago god told all animal that he was having a banquet tomorrow and don't be late. Knowing this the rat decided to play a trick on his neighbor the cat and told him that the banquet was the day after tomorrow.

The next all the animals lined for the banquet and the rat lead the way riding all the way on the back of the ox.

Everyone had a wonderful time except the cat, which missed the whole thing.'

 

“Ok, that's enough.” said Andy Trony as she tossed the book she was reading aside and plopped down on her bed. “Man every book is a lie. Doesn't anybody besides me know the truth?”

 

Andy was 17, was about 5'6”, and had dirty blonde hair with bright blue eyes.

 

“You're still in bed? Get up now!” said a cold voice.

 

“Come on, Sam, it's a Saturday” Andy said as she looked at him.

 

Sam was head of the Trony family, was 20, was 5'8”, had black hair, and cold black eyes.

 

“You dare to define my wishes?!” he yelled as he went over to her bed and punched her in the face. “Now get up!”

 

“All right” she said while rubbing the now red spot on her cheek.

 

Then she got up a dress but right after a girl came bursting in and yelled “Andy your awake!” as she gave Andy a back braking hug.

 

“Get off of me, Becca!” Andy said as she tried to pull her off.

 

Becca was also 17, about the same size as Andy, she had blonde hair and green eyes, she was a member of the Tryon family, Andy cousin and best friend.

 

“But we haven't seen each other in ages.”

 

“We saw each other yesterday!”

 

“That's a lifetime between friends”

 

“What the hell did you eat this morning?!”

 

“A muffin, a chocolate bar, and a whole lot of gummy bears.”

 

“That explains it.”

 

“Explains what?” she asked as she jumped up and down “Hey, what's that book” she asked as she picked the book that Andy had thrown earlier “The Chinese Zodiac? I thought that you didn't read these any more?”

 

“I don't I just wanted to see if this one told the truth.”

 

“And…”

 

“And it's the same as the others” she said taking the book as she sat down of the bed staring at the cover.

 

“You ok?”

 

“Yeah, I just feel forgotten”

 

“You're not forgotten, it's just that tales change over time.” Becca said trying to comfort her friends.

 

“Do you think I should go to see the cat?” Andy asked without looking up form the cover.

 

“Why?”

 

“Well our sprits were supposed to be close”

 

“Even if you wanted to Sam wouldn't let-“

 

Just then the door busted open cut Becca off. “Get out here now!” yelled Sam and then slammed the door.

 

“Speak of the devil” mumble Becca.

 

“Yeah, literally.” Andy replied. “But come on we better get down to breakfast before he comes back.”

 

“Yeah let's go”

 

Then the headed out the door and down to the dinning room.

 

“Well, get in the kitchen and make breakfast.” said Sam who was sit at the table.

 

“Yes sir” said Andy as she headed of to the kitchen and Becca behind her.

 

“What are you going to make?” she asked.

 

“Pancakes I guess.” Andy replied just shrugging her shoulders.

 

“Can I help?” Becca almost pleaded.

 

“Do you remember last time you helped.” she asked shuddering at the memory

 

“No.” said with a guilty look on her face.

 

“Well let review, you ate the noodles, brunt the fish, broke 8 plates, fried the cheese, blew up the toaster, and almost cut hand off with a blender.” said Andy as she counted the things of on her fingers.

 

“But I've gotten better.” Becca did plead with big puppy dog eyes.

 

“Alright just stay away form the stove this time.” Andy said harshly.

 

But after about 2 minutes Becca tried to put milk on the toast and Andy insisted that she had done enough and she went to sit at the table with Sam.

 

“Here you are.” said Andy about half an hour later to Sam and Becca as she put the food on the table “I'm not hungry so I'm going to my room.” she finished as she bowed and started to head up to her room.

 

“Wait, Andy, I want you to come and eat” said Sam.

 

“That's ok, I'm not hungry.” replied Andy

 

“I said sit down!” said Sam angrily.

 

Thinking that it would be best to not to anger him so she sat down next to Becca.

 

“Well eat.” said Sam

 

Andy ate and then went to go wash the dishes.

 

“I'll help” Becca started but seeing the look of Andy's face said “I mean I get out of your way.” and went up to her room.

 

(Back in the kitchen)

 

“That's a good slave.” said Sam while leaning against the door frame as Andy washed the dishes at the sink.

 

Andy mumbled something under her breath.

 

“What was that?!” Sam said getting angry.

 

“I said that I'm not a slave.” Andy said louder.

 

Just then a knife went past Andy's head missing it by inches.

 

“Why shouldn't you be a slave? You're a stupid forgotten spirit! Nothing with ever change that!”

 

Andy was too shocked to move or speak and until a hand tightly grabbed her hair.

 

“Do you think that you will be worth anything to anybody!” yelled Sam as he pushed Andy to the ground.

 

“No.” said Andy as tears started to fall down her face.

 

“No what!” said Sam.

 

“No I'm not worth anything.” cried Andy.

 

“Good now get up to your room.” he said throwing Andy a crossed the room by the hair.

 

She did as instructed only to find Becca on her bed.

 

“What happened?!” yelled Becca seeing that Andy's hair was matted and tears round down her face.

 

“Nothing, But I'm leaving tonight and I'm not coming back.” said Andy as she got her suit case and started packing her clothes.

 

“You can't, Sam will be mad.” complained Becca as she tried to unpack Andy's clothes.

 

“I don't care. I'm leaving so that doesn't matter anyway.” said Andy as she repack what Becca unpacked.

 

“Well where are you going?” Becca said giving up.

 

“I don't, as long as it not here” Andy said as she finished packing.

 

“When are you leaving?” Becca said with tears forming in her eyes.

 

“Tonight and please don't cry.”

 

“I'm not I just don't want you to go.” she said wiping the tears from her eyes.

 

“I don't want to go but I have to.” said Andy as she looked out the window.

 

That night Andy did as she said and left after saying good bye to Becca. She headed off into the dark and knew exactly where she was going to go.
